Help! Height Sensor Rod Adjustments!

After Tightening the left Height Sensor Rod the maximum it comes down only an inch. At the Right the height actually increases more than 2 inches.
Can someone PLEASE help me why this happens. The Front left doesn't lower.
And Explain about all the four Sensors? Please?

Thanks! God Bless

The sensors work in conjucntion with each other. Adjusting the front left can affect the rear right from what I understand. You are trying to adjust the system out of spec. If you are dead set on using the existing system then I would get the controller. You also don't need to create a new thread if you are continuing an existing discussion. Just use the same one you made earlier.

IT is IMPERATIVE that you are on a perfectly flat surface when doing this. Prepare to spend several hours working on it, and without a computer with special software hooked up to car's OBD and showing the sensors' readings you will never get it perfect.

But!

What I don't understand is if the front sensors adjust the Left-Right, how can I lower the front. :/

The repair manual does not cover any "custom" setting, but in case if you want to go back to factory specs, here are the pages from the repair manual for you to follow.
